Overview

• Kishor kicked off Jan Suraaj’s on‑ground campaign in Raghopur with a high‑visibility roadshow that wound through multiple local stops in the Tejashwi Yadav-held constituency.
• He warned that Tejashwi could meet a Rahul Gandhi-in-Amethi-style defeat and suggested the RJD leader might seek a second seat, a possibility that remains unconfirmed.
• Kishor reiterated that he may personally contest from Raghopur but said the party’s central committee will decide the candidate after gathering local feedback.
• Jan Suraaj has released a first list of 51 candidates for the Bihar polls, leaving Raghopur vacant for now as internal deliberations continue.
• Analysts say Kishor’s move could set up a three-way contest with the RJD and BJP in a Yadav-dominated seat where caste alignments present a steep challenge for any outsider.
